The Best Tunnel Fits From The 2025-'26 WNBA Season: All Star Weekend

Get premium, high resolution news photos at Getty Images The time has finally come—when players from across the league, selected through a fan-driven voting system, unite as the newly crowned All Stars. All-Star Weekend feels a bit like making it to the final rounds of Love Island: you've been voted a fan favorite, there's a prize (well, bragging rights), and instead of romantic challenges, the best duos and trios face off in non-traditional basketball scrimmage. But the main event isn't just the game. The weekend is packed with fireside chats, 3x3 scrimmages, skill challenges, and the always iconic 3-point contest. This year was a bit different, as the main event was pushed over for a whole lot of partying — as seen on Studbudz's live stream.

Alongside the festivities, a seemingly ubiquitous conversation about WNBA salaries also loomed over Indiana and all the weekends' happenings. All-Star Weekend happened to coincide with the period when players, through CBA meetings, were negotiating their contracts,, and more importantly, their pay. For some time, the WNBA has faced a stark pay gap compared to its NBA counterpart. Now, players are advocating for a livable wage and equity that reflects the league's growth.

Leather jackets may not scream summer, but they never really go out of season. Plum opts for a Loewe leather bomber, complete with an oversized belt buckle that cinches the waist just right. She pairs it with relaxed khakis and the ever-iconic Loewe Puzzle bag in beige. The finishing touch: Sleek, all-black wraparound sunglasses—perfect for her Matrix-style entrance.

Williams showed up in a custom, newly dropped Studbudz tracksuit in light pink, perfectly matching her freshly dyed hair.

She finishes the look with fine-lined Miu Miu glasses and, controversially, a brown Louis Vuitton bag, but if Angel Reese wants to wear black and brown, Angel Reese can wear black and brown.
